HOME CUSTODIANS

CATIE PAYNE & GEORGE CLIPP

Hello!

We’re George and Catie - a neat, friendly, animal-loving couple from Tasmania, Australia.

Catie runs an online communications business, writing for clients around the world from her laptop. George is an editor, producer and horticulture-enthusiast who also works in the ether, but prefers the veggie patch.

Between us, we’ve taken care of homes big and small, special needs dogs to escapee chooks - and loved every minute. We’re experienced housesitters, and take pride in looking after your home like our own.

We love hearing from people near and far, so send us an email about your upcoming adventure - and how we can help make it a breeze.

Why housesitting?

Housesitting is one of those exchanges that just makes sense. Pets stay stress free and happy while their humans holiday. Plants are watered, weeded and whispered to, so a thriving garden awaits your return. Homes are lived in and loved, with someone to collect the mail and dust the shelves. All the while, housesitters enjoy a home away from home. For us, the chance to connect with new places and communities - while helping people out in the process - is a dream arrangement.

How we housesit?

Our goal is to leave your home even better than we found it. Getting stuck into garden weeds, bushy lawns and veggie beds is our idea of a good time, and we’re proactive with property maintenance. As house guests, we’re tidy and considerate - George has Great British manners to thank and Catie has a thing for spotless surfaces. With online jobs that require an internet connection and little else, we’re around to tend to the homestead and shower your pets with pats - plus, we’ve been known to send high-res slideshows via email, so expect to be kept in the loop.
